I am on LTD and my employers advised me to return to work or apply for a medical pension or you’re terminated. I am receiving x number of dollars from CPP DI / Sun Life and company medical pension. Sun Life just decreased my payments because I am receiving x number of dollars from my medical pension. Can they do this? I worked for Canada Crown Corporation.

Mike, You will have to refer to your Policy, specifically the provisions referencing “Other Income Benefits” or “Deductible Sources of Income.” If it is listed as an offset under the policy, then yes, they can do so.
